Please excuse the typo. Of course it should be 'today's Wall Street Journal'.
Today's Walls Street Journal has an article about film and digital written by Douglas Gantenbein, a writer and photographer living in Port Townsend, WA.
This link should allow the article to be...
Today, the Chicago Tribune has an article about Brian Palm and his efforts to record LF images of buildings which may soon be torn down. They write "Palm is the latest in a line of Chicago...

You will definitely enjoy transfers and manipulations. Besides websites, there are several books published on the subject.
There are any number of sites you may wish to look at including:...
Dear Rory
I am anxiously anticipating your writing articles, helping to edit, but most especially, investing in View Camera magazine so we can all benefit from your abilities and expertise. ...

In the spirit of truth, honesty, correct information and good trivia, wasn't the Vulcan bomber in Thunderball?
Seriously, this sounds like a great event!

Dear Warren
With current used/auction prices as they are, I might suggest you find a bit newer age camera. Obviously, older might me more difficultly in finding accessories, what do you do for...
John
I might suggest you leaf through a copy of Paula Chamlee's "High Plains Farm"...a most important documentary look at her family's farm. Perhaps, you will find some thoughts through that...
A posting at Outbackphoto.com noted some positive new rules and regulations for travel with cameras. Here is the TSA page for everyone's information:

Dear Andrew
I don't know about substituting the Sekonic with a digital camera, but I find myself using a digital camera often. When I want to contravene the '10 feet from the road' rule, I...
Dear John & Jeff
What we may have is our own Rashimon about Kodak. We see it differently, but each of us has some truth and some misunderstanding.
Kodak does lots of things wonderfully and...
Was that not a special edition at the end of the P run just prior to introduction of the P2? Maybe Ellis has better information. I have seen one, but don't recall all that much about them.

Dear John
Forecasts for film indicate a decline, according to the article in the Wall Street Journal, from $9.5 billion to $6.5 billion before 2006. How much film, paper and chemical product are...
For those of you who have access to today's edition of the Wall Street Journal, there is a most informative article about Kodak, their future, their existing issues and the prospects for film from...
As a final observation on this topic, this may be a vision of the future. There is no doubt certain segments of the photography industry are undergoing significant changes.
Ebay has altered the...
This thread seems to be going in endless circles and the tone is not improving as additions are added. In one answer, the contributor said he sought advice, but when he announced he was a Canadian...
Dear Richard
I do not have a dog in this fight, but perhaps, can see both sides of the issue. If a company does not vigorously defend trademark and name issues, there might be the chance of...

In checking some of Tracy's other posts on this forum (glad the forum kept all the old stuff-thank you!) he talked about 'Chocolate'. Look at this thread:

Dear Tim
Maybe you can call Polaroid tech support, or Tracy Storer (check www.mammothcamera.com) or John Ritter who are the gurus of chocolate! I do not fully recall, but I believe they have...
I look forward to many interesting threads and lots of useful advice! Thank you for all your hard work and effort to accomplish this!
Tuan, now you can get back to photographing national parks...
Of course, the Ansel Adams series
The last number I had (from the most recent SinarBron catalogue) was 847-823-3330-this is also the last number I had in my rolodex. However, I have not been able to contact Bob and have not spoken...
Dear Jeff
I have used the Balcar Miniblocs with some success. These require that you individually plug them into a conventional wall power source via a regular 110v plug, not a dedicated power...

You will certainly like using a rotary paper trimmer whether it is the Rotatrim which I use or the Dahle (sorry, not familiar with this model). I had put off buying a paper cutter and...
I use a Rollcut from Calumet. They carry several brands and multiple sizes. If I recall, they have had some on sale recently. The circular blade works very well and gives the cleanest, best cuts...
Dear Neil
I have shot for some years with the Fuji 617 (older version without the interchangeable lenses). This is a marvelous camera and accepts both 120 and 220 film. They are a bit more...
Your safety is the most important thing, it is better to hear it was only the camera gear and that it was not taken physically from you. Here is a place you may wish to consider sending...
Dear Bruce
I started out in MF, then ventured into 617 panoramic, then to 4x5 and after all that bought a 35mm digital rig. Since then I have added an Xpan and most recently an 8x10 What I...

Dear Wayne
If you are seeking a good GPS system, I heartily recommend Garmin products! I have owned five or six of their products and each one has been better than the last. They are terrific...
Jana
Another approach you may wish to consider is the purchase of a Polaroid holder such as the 545 (more recent and a bit more expensive) or maybe one of the prior versions so that you can use ...
Peace on earth, goodwill to all! My prayers are with those lost during this terrible year...may our future be brighter and safer.
Merry Christmas,

Dear Rich
I am pleased to hear of your success and happiness with your new system. I happen to embrace film and digital. Today, for example, I set off in downtown Chicago with a DCS620 and...
There might be two other sites which we might attempt to emulate or at least have discussions with to learn how they provide service and forums.
Perhaps there is a way that this LF Forum...
Dear Andrew
To go over a bit of ground other have discussed, Ebay can be a terrific avenue to get good quality cameras at reasonable prices. Your disadvantage is that you have not tracked...
Dear Andy
Have you seen the book "Building Images: Seventy Years of Photography at Hedrich Blessing"? They are a leading Chicago based photographic firm which specializes in architectural...

Dear Andy
I have, enjoy and found benefit from Sinar's Creative Large Format- Architectural Photography book. In fact, I was going back and reading sections only this weekend. Obviously, there...
Dear Ellis
Yes, I am certain either the museum or architect or both try to maintain rights restrictions on the buildings and grounds. I really do not know since I have not been to the new...
Dear Jim
Perhaps, they are afraid if we take photographs of the buildings, then we might steal their souls!!
